Royal Technologies company history timeline

1991

The first Royal plastic house was constructed in Germany in 1991 and found ready markets in the Caribbean and Latin America.

1993

According to a 1993 Forbes profile, "Royal would grow, then reap some profits; grow, then reap.

1995

In January 1995 the company launched a joint venture with Rubbermaid Incorporated, creating Royal Rubbermaid Structures Ltd. to make and market modular consumer storage sheds.

1997

In 1997, in light of its increasing emphasis on technology, the company changed its name to Royal Group Technologies Limited.

1998

According to a company press release, in 1998 a De Zen-owned company bought 185 acres of land for $20 million and immediately sold it to Royal for $27 million.

2002

De Zen did not help improve shareholder relations by accepting a $5.6 million bonus for 2002, which led to a contentious annual meeting and a number of shareholders voicing their anger.

2005

De Zen and other shareholders entered into an agreement with Cerberus supporting the offer, making it likely that Royal was about to return to being a private company as it entered a new phase in its history, minus its charismatic founder. It remained a very valuable property, as demonstrated by the $1.05 billion bid for the company made by New York money manager Cerberus Capital Management LP in the spring of 2005.
